Well alot has been done to the car over the past 2 months... GHL exhaust, painted calipers, rims, tinted tails, carbon fiber emblems and blacked out corners. I know some are not a fan of the black on black but i figured i would give it a shot. o and the kid in the one pic is my lil brother, im young at 22 but im not that young haha.

EDIT: UPDATED PICS LATER IN THREAD

Hows the GHL Exhaust? That one has been one of the few I've been deciding about. Hows the drone? Car looks great. Usually I see the Tuner cars always murdered out.

Thanks guys! The GHL exhaust is awesome and has that old school muscle sound. I love the gurgle and pops when i let off the gas and i get a ton of compliments on it. I DD this and drive 50 miles to work each day going about 80mph and the drone can be bad but once i learned the sweet spot i dont even notice it.

I live in a loft and the parking garage gets pretty dark and other tenants always tell me how menacing it is at night.

Well i decided to take the road less travelled and went with the lime green accents. Lime green calipers, black rims with lime green time attack pinstripe, and of course lime green fender stripes . Been getting alot of compliments but its certainly not everyones cup of tea. I have some better pics that ill also upload later when i get home.

That's definitely BOLD!
Good on you for doing it. Not everyone will like it, but it IS original, and WILL stand out!
